Yves Bolduc: Immigration

Dozen Ministers Dept: Indeed, speculation has run rampant in provincial political circles that Dr. Bolduc had bluntly threatened to walk away from politics if he was pushed from his ministry’s helm, according to Globe And Mail. According to people within the health system who are well acquainted with Dr. Bolduc’s work habits, he rises with the dawn each morning and often makes it his first task to pore over that day’s surgical waiting lists. He has reputedly instructed office clerks in some hospitals – he is famous for impromptu site visits – on how he likes his spreadsheets prepared and colour-coded and amid a cabinet shuffle that saw a dozen ministers switch portfolios – and two jobs cut altogether – perhaps the largest figure left standing was Health Minister Yves Bolduc, a former family doctor and current opposition lightning rod who was widely rumoured to be marked for demotion. Although the energetic 53-year-old Saguenay native brushed aside that talk – and resulting headlines – as “fiction and conjecture that is absolutely false” at a news conference in Quebec City, he allowed in a later television interview that “I came into politics to do health.” As reported in the news.
